The Ikaga Research Laboratory of Keio University’s System Design Engineering Department conducts research on the core issue of sustainability in terms of both architecture and urban planning. The group examines how this informs both the design of domestic environments to actively promote health, and urban environments conducive to a low-carbon approach. Currently the lab is focusing on three main themes: health, intellectual productivity, and low-carbon.

Sony is going to release HD video meeting system PCS-XC1 for about 298,000 yen in November.

PCS-XC1 weighs only 1.8kg and supports Wi-Fi. So, it makes it easy to have a business meeting in a situation where it is traditionally difficult to have a meeting, for example places like a construction site and production line in a factory.

Regarding current network technology, many researchers focus on how to improve network efficiency. By contrast, at Keio University, the Kaneko Laboratory, in the Department of Information and Computer Science (Faculty of Science and Technology), is doing research to construct next-generation network environments from the viewpoint of applications.
